Florida guard Chris Chiozza sunk the Cincinnati Bearcats in the final minutes of their Never Forget Classic Showdown this afternoon. He broke a 60-60 tie with less than two minutes remaining at Newark, New Jersey’s Prudential Center by scoring six consecutive points, four of which came at the free throw line.
Fifth-ranked Florida pulled away late against the seventeenth ranked Bearcats, earning a 66-60 victory in a game played with an intensity more familiar to late March than late in the fall semester.
The now 7-2 Bearcats trailed at the half to the now 6-3 Gators, 34-28.
